Society says that you should never help anyone unless you will benefit from it. I think other wise because I know that in life your situation is always changing. I can be the top millionaire one day and the next the man with the cup. I am very amused with how we learn to help others because it is the “right” thing to do but we really do not live out that “value” when the time comes. 

            It is easier to not get involved or help someone in need because it allows us to not become  “a part of it”. I have the strong belief that you should help someone who is in need because it is not just “morally” correct but they need your help. I do not care about the “morally” correct scenario that society has created.  I feel that someone being attacked, harassed, or mugged should receive help because you can prevent further harm. I also believe that giving homeless people money is not wrong and they can use it for whatever they want because I would hope that I would receive help in my time of need. My “foolish” perspective has been shaped by two previous situations that I have had the misfortune of hearing about on a personal level. 

            It is time for people to step up and disregarded what society tells them is the “right” thing to do.  That means learning all the correct morals and never applying them to keep your ‘self safe and sound. We have our own personality and paradigm so lets use it. I understand that I’m foolish because I would put myself in a situation that could potentially hurt me because I decided to play “hero”. However, we are on this earth for a reason and with our strong mentality we can decide to make a difference. I am not saying that you are supposed to save each and every person and be careless about your own safety. I am just saying do “something” to help someone in need even if it decimal of an action. I know, I choose not to be a part of the study where everyone closes the blinds and hears the cry for help until it subsides.
